Reference to Plates 121 and 122 will show that the opercula of E. punctata are shorter 

 (indicated in Bentham's name brachycorys), and, as a very general rule, the fruit of E. 

 punctata is quite different, being cylindroid, but on rare occasions the shapes of the 

 fruits in the two species more closely approach each other. 



4. With E. Kirtoniana F.v.M. 



For an account of E. Kirtoniana, see Part XXIX and Plate 123. At p. 204 is a 

 reference to the statement that Mr. R. T. Baker placed E. Kirtoniana (patentinervis) 

 between E. tereticornis and E. rudis Endl., two nearly smooth-barked species, that of 

 E. Kirtoniana being decidedly rough, something intermediate, in that respect, between 

 Bloodwood (E. corymbosa) and Swamp Mahogany (E. robusta).' E. tereticornis is erect 

 in habit. E. Kirtoniana is much less so. 



Mr. W. F. Pe-trie (p. 202) points out certain affinities to E. tereticornis, but this 

 applies chiefly to the foliage, for if one were to turn to Plate 123 and note the buds and 

 fruits, it will be seen that there is but little resemblance. 



5. With E. siderophloia Benth. 



This is referred to in Vol. i (Part X) p. 329 ; compare also certain figures in 

 Plate 47.
